But we will still take a look at the wider range of options of the shape tool. If you don\u2019t feel like going through them right now. You can jump to the <a href=\"#Examples\">examples section<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Exploring the 3 different modes of shapes tools:- Shape, Path And Pixels<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2052\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Shape-Types-600x40.png\" alt=\"Shape-Types\" width=\"600\" height=\"40\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Shape-Types-600x40.png 600w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Shape-Types-800x54.png 800w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Shape-Types.png 857w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On the option bar of any of the shape tool. You could\u00a0specify one\u00a0of 3 modes for shapes you are creating. The 3 available options are:-<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">The Shape Mode<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Shapes created using the shape mode are contained in a special kind of layers ,called Shape Layer. The main advantage of creating shapes that way is the the shapes\u00a0are vector graphics. Meaning that you can resize them however you want without\u00a0losing the quality of the shape. Because the shapes are redrawn every time you resize them using\u00a0mathematical equations<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">The Path Mode<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Create a path of the shape you are drawing, be it a square, rectangle or whatever. The path can be treated just like any path you create in Photoshop. And the Shape tool options allows you to\u00a0easily convert it into a pixel mode. Turn it into selection, or turn it into a mask for the current layer.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">The Pixel Mode<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The easiest to understand among the 3 types. The pixel shape you create in this mode is added to the current\u00a0layer pixels. And it is treated the same way as any brush stroke you make. Technically speaking, there is no difference between say, a rectangle you create with\u00a0the shape tool this way. Or from the one you create by making a rectangular or elliptical selection and then filling it with pixels using the brush tool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Let\u2019s\u00a0talk a look on the options of each of these 3 modes<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">The Shape Mode\u00a0Options<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Shape Mode works the same way any vector graphics program works. If you have any experience working on a vector graphics, like Adobe Flash or Adobe Illustrator, then these options will look familiar to you.\u00a0You can set these options before you draw your shape. Or after you draw it by selecting the shape layer of the shape then changing the options you want.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2054\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2054\" style=\"width: 261px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2054 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Shape-Layer-261x300.png\" alt=\"Shape-Layer\" width=\"261\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2054\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shape Layer in the Layers panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">Fill Color<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2055\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Shape-Mode-Option-Fill-600x20.png\" alt=\"Shape-Mode-Option-Fill\" width=\"600\" height=\"20\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Shape-Mode-Option-Fill-600x20.png 600w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Shape-Mode-Option-Fill-800x27.png 800w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Shape-Mode-Option-Fill.png 970w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Determines the fill\u00a0of the shape, you can choose any\u00a0colour you like from the\u00a0colours\u00a0palette.

They can also be called pixel layers as well)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2068\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Convert-Shape-Layer-Pixel-Layer-2.png\" alt=\"Convert-Shape-Layer-Pixel-Layer-2\" width=\"421\" height=\"154\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Click on the OK button, and Photoshop will turn the shape layer into a normal one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2069\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Convert-Shape-Layer-Pixel-Layer-3.png\" alt=\"Convert-Shape-Layer-Pixel-Layer-3\" width=\"264\" height=\"537\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">The Path Mode Options<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2070\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Path-Mode-Options-600x29.png\" alt=\"Path-Mode-Options\" width=\"600\" height=\"29\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Path-Mode-Options-600x29.png 600w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Path-Mode-Options.png 744w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Path Mode options are much simpler than the ones in the Shape Mode. There are 3 options you have to be aware of, which they are:-<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\">Selection (Or Make Selections)<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2075\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Path-Mode-Options-Selection1.png\" alt=\"Path-Mode-Options-Selection\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2076\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Path-Mode-Options-Selection2.png\" alt=\"Path-Mode-Options-Selection\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2077\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Path-Mode-Options-Selection3-600x29.png\" alt=\"Path-Mode-Options-Selection\" width=\"600\" height=\"29\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Path-Mode-Options-Selection3-600x29.png 600w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Path-Mode-Options-Selection3.png 744w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This option will turn the path into a selection, which you could manipulate just like any other selection in Photoshop. For more about Photoshop Selection Tools.

Layers Masks is one of the concepts we will be covering in more details in a\u00a0future tutorial. But in short, Layer Mask is a way to hide or conceal some of the pixels in a given layer. but without actually deleting them. This means that by modifying the mask, you can determine which pixels are visible\u00a0in a given layer and which are not.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\">Shape (Or Make\u00a0Shape)<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2073\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Path-Mode-Options-Mask-Shape-600x29.png\" alt=\"Path-Mode-Options-Mask-Shape\" width=\"600\" height=\"29\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Path-Mode-Options-Mask-Shape-600x29.png 600w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Path-Mode-Options-Mask-Shape.png 744w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This will turn the Path into a Shape. Which you could work on just like we did in the shape mode above. When you use that option, Photoshop will add a new layer that contains the newly created shape.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>There are 6 Photoshop Shape Tools. The Rectangle Tool, the rounded rectangle tool, the Ellipse Tool, the polygon tool, the Line Tool, and the Custom Shape Tool.<\/li>\n<li>The Rectangle Tool and the Rounded Rectangle Tools both do the same things, but the Rounded Rectangle draws a rectangle with rounded corner<\/li>\n<li>You could specify the aspect ratio options for almost all the shapes you draw by clicking on the gear icon before you draw the shape<\/li>\n<li>The ellipse is drawn the same way you draw rectangles, the width &amp; height of the ellipse is measured by the length its axis<\/li>\n<li>The Polygon Tool offers more options than any of the other Photoshop shape tools. As it allows you to draw a star instead of polygon, which you could also cusomize in more than a way.<\/li>\n<li>Using the star option of the Polygon Tool can help you draw in perspective in Photoshop easily<\/li>\n<li>The line tool draw all kind of thing and think lines. You could also specify if the line has arrows on it<\/li>\n<li>The line tool arrows can be customized in more than a way in relation with the weight or width of the line<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><a id=\"Examples\"><\/a>Photoshop Shape Tools Examples<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Creating an iPhone-like Icon<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Rounded Rectangle Shape Tool is one of many way you could use to create an iPhone-like icon. While you don\u2019t really create it that way when you develop applications for the iPhone. Icons that\u00a0looks like that can make a website look more modern and cooler:-<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2078\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/iPhone-Icon-600x173.png\" alt=\"iPhone-Icon\" width=\"600\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/iPhone-Icon-600x173.png 600w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/iPhone-Icon-800x231.png 800w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/iPhone-Icon.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Drawing in Perspective using the Polygon Tool<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">This example is kind of out of scope of this tutorial. But it is worth mentioning for those who plan to use\u00a0Photoshop\u00a0for drawing. The Polygon Tool, along with the Star Option, can be used to quickly draw a vanishing point and all of the lines that comes out of\u00a0it. Which can be used as a drawing guidelines. This trick can be used to draw in\u00a0One, two or three\u00a0points perspective. The whole trick is\u00a0explained in full details in the article <a title=\"Drawing Perspective in Photoshop &amp; Illustrator, A simple how to~\" href=\"http:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/drawing-perspective-in-photoshop-illustrator-a-simple-how-to\/\">Drawing Perspective in Photoshop &amp; Illustrator, A simple how to~<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-539\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/1-Vanishing-Point-2.png\" alt=\"1-Vanishing-Point-2\" width=\"338\" height=\"319\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Using the shapes tool to create simple drawings.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since all the kinds of\u00a0shapes\u00a0exist everywhere around as. They can be used to draw tons of things. And without having much of drawing skills. And if you made these shapes in the Shape Mode. You will be able to resize them\u00a0however you want. Without affecting their quality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you are really interested in drawing that way. Then I highly advice you to learn a Vector Graphics program like Adobe Illustrator,\u00a0which is designed specifically for that. And it contains much more tools for that than Photoshop.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">An Envelope using lines<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2079\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Envelope-600x600.png\" alt=\"Envelope\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Envelope-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Envelope-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Envelope-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Envelope.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">A mobile using ellipses and rounded rectangles, with some texts here and there<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2084\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Mobile1-e1422056122810-342x600.png\" alt=\"Mobile\" width=\"194\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Mobile1-e1422056122810-342x600.png 342w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Mobile1-e1422056122810-456x800.png 456w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Mobile1-e1422056122810-600x1051.png 600w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Mobile1-e1422056122810-800x1402.png 800w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Mobile1-e1422056122810.png 897w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">A coffee cup made entirely from ellipses and\u00a0half ellipses<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2083\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Coffee-Cup1-e1422056070720-600x425.png\" alt=\"Coffee-Cup\" width=\"366\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Coffee-Cup1-e1422056070720-600x425.png 600w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Coffee-Cup1-e1422056070720-800x566.png 800w, https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Coffee-Cup1-e1422056070720.png 1129w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #000000;\">Would you like to learn Photoshop?<\/h2>\n<div style=\"color: #000000;\">Check my Photoshop book<strong><strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Learn-Photoshop-CC-With-Pictures.html\">Learn Photoshop CC With Pictures<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>which contains a full course on how to use Photoshop in the simplest way possible.<\/div>\n<h2><a id=\"SeeAlso\"><\/a>See Also<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2uUMaEp\">Learn Photoshop CC With Pictures<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get The Book &#8220;Photoshop Shape Tool Tutorial&#8221; is part of my Photoshop book &#8220;Learn Photoshop CC With Pictures&#8221;, which is more revised and covers more concepts than the online tutorials,\u00a0feel free to check out the book by visiting my Learn Photoshop CC With Pictures Book Page.
